Covid Stealing Oxygen Slam

When you break down the
top headline story

Into the simplest of terms

No human being on earth

Even a child could not misinterpret

Or fail to understand

When and what the newsreader
is actually saying

And yes you did hear those words
come out of his or her mouth

We don't have or have run out
of oxygen

In effect what they are actually 
saying

Is the most abundant thing
on earth

Above food or water or even
dry land

We have run out of

Well riddle me this or am
in fact proposing the most

Stupid of questions in the
history of manking

If that statement you just made
was in any way true

In the next 10 minutes

Every living species 

Without the ability of oxygen
to breath

Is

Dead

Extinct
